In Morocco, winter is approaching in November and the weather is getting worse. Despite this, you will not be able to feel the real winter.
Weather in Morocco in November
In the north, the Mediterranean climate reigns, so it is always warm here. In Tangier, which is washed by the waters of the Strait of Gibraltar, daytime temperatures can reach + 20C. However, precipitation falls on 11 days of November. In Meknes, which is located at a distance of 340 kilometers from the coastal strip, the same temperature indicators are recorded. In Fez it will be + 19C, and in Marrakech and Agadir + 23C.
Northwest Morocco is influenced by cool air masses coming from the Atlantic. Due to this, the temperatures here are a couple of divisions lower, but they still delight tourists. By nightfall, the temperature drops significantly. Average rates are + 11-12C, and in Fez it is never higher than + 9C.

Holidays and festivals in Morocco in November
When planning a vacation in Morocco in November, you should prepare for the fact that there are two state dates in the holiday calendar.
The sixth of November is the Day of Remembrance of the Green March. In 1975, the Green March took place, a massive demonstration authorized by the authorities. This demonstration was necessary in order for Spain to hand over Western Sahara to Morocco, which was then a disputed territory. The word "green" suggests a link between march and Islam. The Moroccans perceived the annexation of Western Sahara as an act of restoring the territorial integrity of their state and a kind of compensation for the Moroccan lands that became part of Algeria as a result of a change in the administrative border between the two French colonies.
Morocco's Independence Day is celebrated on 18 November. This holiday was established in 1955. The return of the king marked the beginning of a new stage in the development of Morocco. The country was able to become independent on March 2, 1956. Morocco's Independence Day marks the return to the throne of Mohammed V, not the date of official independence. The holiday is celebrated very splendidly: parades and festivities, fairs with tents, where national food is presented.
Important cultural events take place in Morocco in November. For example, there is a film festival in Marrakech. Perhaps you can diversify your own cultural leisure by taking advantage of this offer.
Morocco is a country that will allow you to enjoy warm weather and interesting pastime in November!
